The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Home Comforts initiative, hosted by the Wheatley Foundation, on reaching a 10-year milestone; understands that over the last 10 years, more than 26,000 items such as furniture and white goods, have been collected or donated, refurbished then passed on to tenants in need; believes that by extending the life of these items, Home Comforts is helping to tackle consumption and waste with the initiative successfully diverting more than 143 tonnes of furniture and white goods from landfills in the last year; recognises that many of the items have been a lifeline for many individuals; notes that Home Comforts moved to a new depot in Dixon Blazes, located on the Southside of Glasgow in December 2024, and understands that the new facility allows the team to refurbish pre-loved furniture to an exceptional standard, giving it a second life in customers’ homes.
